I have been working with Alex and he has kept me moving in spite of the fact that I have no cartilage left in my knees and I refuse to have surgery. Through gentle movements and EDUCATION of how the body and the brain work together he has taught me how to take what I can still do and use it to my best advantage. Without his help I fear I may have been in a wheelchair by now. I could not recommend him higher.

For anyone struggling with any kind of movement issues or want to be proactive and prevent problems associated with aging, Alex is the person for you! The method he teaches is Feldenkrais, very different from anything I have done before. I am walking so much better! My knee pain and generalized joint discomfort has improved so much. I feel taller as well. It is very doable, even with significant physical limitations. There are also great mental benefits! You should really check this place out. I am so happy I stumbled upon his place in downtown O’Fallon!

Initially, I focused on traditional physical therapy, but for the past four years Alex, my physical therapist, has used Feldenkrais movement therapy to assist me in building new neurological pathways in order to utilize my diminishing muscles more effectively and comfortably. The plasticity of the brain makes this remarkable therapy helpful for everyone.
Feldenkrais is very adaptable and can be used by those who spend much of their day in a chair or wheelchair. I have learned movements involving many parts of my body that have been specifically designed to be done in my comfortable chair. These chair exercises come in handy when I need to get some movement going after spending a lot of time on my computer or just resting.
Many exercise programs focus on the notion of “no pain no gain”; whereas, with Feldenkrais the slogan could be “strive for ease”. Alex has designed all of my sessions to be done on a mat or in a chair so I don’t have to deal with gravity. Feldenkrais has allowed me to add greater joy and pleasure to my exercise program.
